why on earth are people so comfortable giving private companies their fingerprint and face scans?

[–] Michal 3 points 1 month ago

The fingerprint is stored on your device. You don't give it to a company.

Knowing how Lemmy is, I'll probably catch shit for this, but it's the truth:

I just don't care.

I won't say you're being paranoid because, I don't know for sure that there won't be repercussions, but I don't see a realistic downside considering the cops and FBI already have mine for clearances.

My understanding is that these fingerprints are specific to your device and don't get stored in the cloud. If you buy a new phone, then you'll have to rescan your fingerprints.
